Sauble Dunes Nature Reserve BioBlitz

Experience the diverse flora and fauna of Sauble Dunes Nature Reserve!

Sauble Dunes Nature Reserve protects 78 hectares of rare forested sand dunes and wetlands near the eastern shore of Lake Huron on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula. Part of a provincially significant natural area, it also borders the ecologically important Chief’s Point Wetland, making it one of the region’s most valuable and diverse landscapes.

Your family and friends are welcome to join knowledgeable field naturalists for a day of guided hikes and hands-on species identification as we experience the diverse flora and fauna of this exceptional property.
